I'm a 20-something foodie with a passion for cooking and a huge desire to show that living a healthy lifestyle can actually be easy and fun! I love my dog, I love my life and I love that you stopped by my blog so that I can share all that and more with you! Cheers!

I first tried this funfetti dip at my girlfriend’s Stella and Dot jewelry party and we literally couldn’t stop eating it! I immediately thought that I had killed my diet since this tasted just like I was licking cake batter directly out of the bowl, but au contraire my friends! This is actually really low in fat and calories and is the perfect go-to sweet treat when you’re craving those chocolate chip cookies or that yummy slice of cake.

I got this delicious recipe from my friend Nicole who of course found it on Pinterest (my absolute addiction), so I decided to do a little research and tracked down the original recipe from the adorable blog Little Bitty Bakes. They have the recipe for individual portion sizes which is super smart, but I went ahead and made one heaping bowl of it to serve at parties or other events. Oh and this is just perfect for your kids!!

Funfetti Cake Dip

Yield: 24 servings

Ingredients

1 (18.9 oz) box Funfetti cake mix

2 cups fat-free plain yogurt

1 cup lite Cool Whip

Fat-free animal crackers

Instructions

In a large bowl, mix together cake mix, plain yogurt and Cool Whip until completely combined and you see no more lumps. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to chill for about 4 hours. Garnish with additional sprinkles if desired and serve with animal crackers, enjoy!

I just made this over the weekend for my sister’s bachelorette party – I’ve never had a dip that was such a huge hit. Over the weekend, four girls ate the whole thing while sitting on an island – don’t judge us

Kelly if had any idea how much I love funfetti than I would say you posted this just for me! It is a staple at every get together! I seriously almost had a funfetti wedding cake {for realz}! Thank you for sharing and I am totally making this for our family BBQ this weekend!

TOO hilarous! We had the animal crackers in a box (you know, the little box w the circus train) and were talking about how yummy they’d be with icing. One of the girls, who is from Cananda, had never heard of Dunkaroos and thought the idea of animal crackers and icing was DE-SGUSTING! However I just so happend to have icing in the fridge (at work) and let her try it. She’s a CONVERT! NOW I’m going to have to make this and introduce her to it! However I’m thinking use greek yogurt, just so I feel a bit better about myself and tell myself ‘it’s got an extra pack of protein, so I can eat more!’. Thank you sooooo much! CAN NOT WAIT.

Ummm, Yum!! I have a box of funfetti mix in my cupboard, all I need is some cool whip and I’m good to go!!! Oddly enough I bough animal crackers the other day, weird and random!! It was like it was meant to be!

I made this last night & it was delicious! I am so jealous of everyone who has access to funfetti! living in Germany the only cake mix at the commissary was white cake or chocolate so I just added my own sprinkles! Lol sooooo good! In fact I’m snacking on it now too!

I made this for my boyfriend and didn’t tell him it was on the healthier side for him. Some how the words healthy and food make him automatically not like something before he’s tried it He loved the dip! I couldn’t find low-fat animal crackers in my grocery store, so I bought reduced fat vanilla waffers to go with it. Very Yummy!

I was wondering the same thing for the same reason. Perhaps real whipped cream? That would certainly up the fat content, but I’m more comfortable with that than hydrogenated oil, and (I imagine) would keep the texture very similar. Three cups of yogurt may also work, though the texture would not be as fluffy.

Mmmm this looks SO good…I’ll try almost anything with cake mix in it! The way it’s served with the little animal crackers kind of reminds me of Dunkaroos – although my mom never actually bought those for me

This looks so good! My daughter is in a local pageant (community service based) and we are making it for her to take to the mixer they are having on Tuesday! She is excited to bring something unique! (She is 17 years old, btw, so for her to get excited about making anything related to food is amazing!). Thank you!

I am making this today with SO Delicious Cultured Coconut Milk (yogurt). Greek Yogurt would also work well! I won’t be using cool whip due to the hydrogenated oils. But I can’t wait to try this! We don’t have pillsbury cake mixes in Canada, but Betty Crocker makes a Rainbow Chip cake mix, which is essentially the same thing. YUMMM

I remember when Liz posted her original version of this…it was wintertime and I remember thinking, now THAT’S the best springtime (or anytime) party dip ever. I still need to try it…a year and a half later and you have me tempted!

I made this for our July 4th BBQ yesterday and it was a huge hit. I used FF Greek yogurt, btw, and it came out delicious…sort of had a cheescake-y taste to it. Resisting the urge to eat all of the leftover dip right now!!!

I was very excited to try this recipe out.. I made a skinny enchilada lasagna last night for dinner and this for dessert. We were a little disappointed in this. It definitely had a weird taste to it that I can’t quite describe. Maybe like an artificial sweetener taste? The cool whip and yogurt did not taste like this on their own so it must’ve been the cake mix or the combination.

I’m so sorry it didn’t turn out how you expected! Did you use Greek yogurt? I’ve noticed that Greek yogurt as opposed to regular yogurt gives it a more sour taste, otherwise I’ve found it to be really good!

@Megan Do you have whipped cream in a can down in NZ? Otherwise you could make it yourself, there are plenty of recipes online. Or you could whip some cream cheese with sugar and milk until fluffy. I would say 2 parts cheese to 1 part milk would work and just sweeten to taste.

I made this this past weekend for tailgating for the NASCAR race in Michigan. I wish I would have made half a batch, because we ended up having to throw some away (boooooo!) but we ate it with fresh strawberries and it was AWESOME. Great recipe!

This will be my second time making this…it is fabulous! It is easy, low cal, and inexpensive! It is the snack of the summer! Thank you! Oh and this time I’ll be using vanilla wafer cookies instead of animal crackers..:)

I have had this book marked for a month waiting to make it. I am taking it in to work for my birthday (which is Monday, but I won’t be at work!). So, now the cake mixes only come in 15.25 oz boxes… I guess I’ll have to adjust the other ingredients a bit.

So… which manufacturer actually makes “fat free” Animal Crackers? =) I’ve been to a few local supermarkets and none of them have fat free – not even low fat – Animal Crackers. The recipe sounds delicious, by the way!

Made last night as a holiday treat to bring to work. Didn’t have cool whip so stuck to cake mix and 0% greek yogurt and it wad phenomenal. Trader Joe’s brand animal crackers paired nicely, they have slight hint of lemon.

Made this yesterday for a work party and it was a big hit!! I used 3 individual sized yogurts, one whole tub of cool whip and the cake mix. I did buy animal crackers and teddy grahams which were even better. Can’t wait to try it with fruit and pretzels!!

Thank you SO much for posting this recipe! I wanted to make a little something sweet for my Football Party gathering last Sunday…. I made it the night before and tasted it after I mixed the ingredients together… I thought it was just O.K. Then I let it sit in the fridge for the night and oh my lord does this dip take on different flavors as it settles. The longer in the fridge, the better it tastes! It was a HUGE hit at my party – everyone wanted the recipe and loved it! Thank you so much for taking us all back to our childhood days of the good ol’ Dunkaroo Dip! LOVE IT and will make it again! xoxo

I love your blog and all your recipes – I’ve tried several of them and they are all delish! I was wondering though, when I plugged in all the ingredients to the recipe builder for WW online it said that 1/4 cup was 5 points. I used the 15.25oz box of Funfetti mix, 2 cups Lucerne Nonfat Plain yogurt and 1 cup Fat Free Cool Whip. Am I doing something wrong? Also, when I serve it with mini Nilla Wafers it adds an additional 2 points for only 10 wafers. The makes it a 7 point snack – not the worst but still kind of a lot of points…

I think the difference in the points is due to the fact that I plugged the ingredients into the recipe builder directly. If I use the nutrition information contained in your post and plug that into the calulator it does say that it is 3 points. I wonder why there is a 2 point difference? Either way, this dip is great! Thanks for sharing!!

We love, love, LOVE this recipe & have put it to frequent use already!! Yesterday I mixed it up for my daughter’s preschool valentine party & it was a huge hit (& even blogged about it & you on my blog I’m building for my new biz: http://www.jenminkphotography.com/funfetti-dip-gone-valentine-style/ ). THANK YOU for this site… I’m trying to change my eating, start cooking, etc & I’ve yet to find a recipe on your site that not just I, but also my husband doesn’t LOVE!!

I was wondering how long this will stay good. i made it for a party that didn’t happen and even though i have no problem eating it myself i don’t think its a skinny dip if i have to eat the whole bowl by tomorrow! thanks so much!

LOVE this idea! We just featured this recipe on our blog and came up with awesome variations like Smores, German Chocolate, Orange Creamsicle, Peanut Butter Cup, and Strawberry Shortcake. Check it out!

This receipe is amazing I made the smaller sized portion bowl, and finally had guilt free cake batter. My friends and I were on a diet before going to Paris for the summer, and they couldn’t believe I would break our eating healhy pact. Now this is our secret way to east sweet and stay eat healthy -thanks.

I guess i didn’t do something right. I doubt it because the recipe is so simple. It just taste weird. It looks like the dunkaroos dip but it don’t taste like it. This is not a negative comment. It is a hit with my 5 yr old.

Have you considered vlogging about a recipe like this?? Your pictures are gorgeous, and the recipe is fool-proof. It would be so simple to do a short video!! I’ll make this at home & give you credit for the party food idea on my blog, Love & Strawberries. Thanks for sharing!!

Just saying, I made two dips: one funfetti and one devils food! It’s PERFECT for creating your own flavors! Pureed strawberries and angel food cake, Mixed berries and lemon cake, Minced dried cherries and devils food cake, Crumbled up graham crackers with marshmallow fluff to replace one cup of yogurt and devils food cake, Strawberry cake and vanilla yogurt….I could go on for days!

I was a bit hesitant as when something is REALLY good, I struggle to eat reasonable amounts of it; recommended servings are usually nothing but a joke for me.

This, however, is ridiculously rich (I had it with honey Teddy Grahams, but I think tomorrow I will try some on apple slices), so it knocked my sweet tooth out in not much more than the recommended 1/4 cup serving. It packs a TON of decadence for the calories and fat grams!

This is absolutely delicious! I am wondering if the nutritional information and weight watchers points change if you use nonfat greek yougurt rather than regular yogurt and fat free cool whip. (Had to use lite this time my store was out of fat free, but will use fat free in the future)
